Abstract
Evaluation! Just the thought of it evokes fear and trembling. Why? Each of us evaluates almost constantly--comparing today's performance against yesterday's, measuring current students against former ones, weighing one teaching technique against another. The purpose here, however, is not to condemn nor condone evaluation but to share ideas about a specific instance of evaluation, evaluation of student teaching.
In the student teaching situation evaluation is "diagnostic." Evaluation helps identify what student teachers do well, where they need improvement, and how they can better achieve their goals. Evaluation is shared by student teachers, high school cooperating teachers and university supervisors. Together they formulate criteria for evaluating. These criteria cover (1) preparation, (2) implementation, and (3) evaluation.
